The contests for the delegates to the National Convention were on in full swing throughout the various states. In the early contests, particularly in the far western states, like Utah, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana, the Wilson candidacy, according to primary returns, began to take on the appearance of a real, robust boom. As the critical days of the Convention approached, evidences of a recession of the favourable tide to Wilson began to manifest themselves, particularly in the states of Massachusetts and Illinois, both of which swung to Clark, with New York in the offing quietly favouring Champ Clark.

Strana 293 - Germany has once more said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether 'Right as America conceives it or Dominion as she conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind.

Strana 124 - The great voice of America does not come from seats of learning.
